The Wedding of Lord Mu
Chapter 1629: Mu Tianzun’s Wedding
In the past few days, Yankang's trips to and from the capital were very lively, with people coming and going. Qingniu told Bashan Jijiu, "Master, my eldest sister is getting drunk in the wine shop. There are wine jars on the tables and corners."
Bashan Jijiu suddenly became nervous and said, "Keep an eye on her and don't let her cause any trouble. I'll go tell Granny Si!"
Qingniu ran to the tavern quickly and saw a cute little girl about ten years old sitting at the table, shouting and yelling for more wine. The nine fox tails behind her butt were already exposed, and she was almost revealing her true form.
However, she had already drunk all the wine in the tavern, and the owner was helpless. He recognized this drunkard and did not dare to chase her away. He could only stand by and listen to her scolding.
"...I have also been married before. Although I am not the first wife, I am still a concubine..."
Hu Ling'er was drunk and climbed onto the wine table with clumsy hands and feet. One leg stood in the wine jar, and the other was outside. She rolled up her sleeves, and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming. Even her white fur coat was stained with alcohol. She complained to the store owner: "Isn't it that you have to give me a status this time? Don't you think..."
Qingniu stepped forward in a hurry: "You Pushe is drunk! Quick, quick! Send You Pushe back to the mansion!"
"I'm not drunk. I recognize you. You are the third brother... er, the fourth brother. That's not right! Long Pi is sworn brothers with Tian Shu and Qi Jiuyi. You should be the sixth or seventh brother..."
Hu Ling'er was still talking nonsense, so Qingniu quickly asked her to come down and escorted her to the Shangshu Province Pushe Mansion.
Hu Ling'er came to the Shangshu Province, and when she saw Zuo Pushe with her drunken eyes, she sneered, "There is a fellow sufferer here! Si Yunxiang, you are the second wife, you come and judge the matter. The blind master made the decision back then, but he married all three of us and we were married in the wedding ceremony!"
Si Yunxiang and she were both Shangshu Sheng Pushe, one on the left and the other on the right, in charge of Yankang's financial power, but after years of experience, she was much more stable than her. She smiled and said, "Sister is drunk, go back and rest first."
Hu Ling'er said carelessly: "Old Nine, I can walk without your help!" After that, she pushed the green ox away, staggered forward, and fell into the flower bed with a grunt. Only her tail was exposed. It shook twice and then remained motionless.
Qingniu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why did I become the ninth one again?"
Granny Si got the report from Bashan and immediately became alert. She said, "Bashan, find some people for me to keep an eye on these dangerous people! Nothing can happen at this critical moment!"
Bashan saw that she was serious and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will definitely take care of this matter!"
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder which dangerous elements we should monitor?"
"Little Fox is the first one! And then there's this girl Si Yunxiang!"
Granny Si said quickly: "Especially Si Yunxiang, the little fox is straightforward, but this girl is very cunning, we must be on guard. In addition, there are some key monitoring targets, such as the wild girls in the West, they also have the custom of walking marriage, be careful that they will seduce the groom into their room on the wedding night! And there is Di De Yuan Jun, we must also be careful..."
Bashan memorized it carefully, and couldn't help but say in embarrassment after hearing it: "Di De Yuanjun's current cultivation attainments have already reached the pinnacle of Yan Kang. Apart from people like Wei Lao Jiaozhu and Youming Crown Prince, who can stop her?"
Granny Si glared at him and said, "You have to stop it even if you can't!"
Bashan shrank his head.
Granny Si continued, "Besides them, you also need to be careful of Langhui..."
Bashan shuddered and hurried out: "Mother-in-law, you should ask for help from someone else! Di De Yuan Jun is fine, but Lang Hui is a God King, a Heavenly Venerable-level existence. Except for a handful of people in the entire universe, who can be her opponent?"
Granny Si said quickly, "Don't worry, Lang Hui is a person who forgets emotions. She puts the interests of the Creator first and won't do anything rash. I'm just worried that if she wants to have a little Creator with the groom, it will cause trouble in the future. You don't need to keep a close eye on him, just keep an eye on Mu'er. As long as he can control his belt, there will be no problem."
Bashan Jijiu complained bitterly: "Junior brother can't control his belt, so I can control it for him?"
Granny Si smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't control you. At most, I can have a few more cubs. As for Ling Tianzun, he has no feelings for Mu'er, but I'm not sure about Yue Tianzun..."
Bashan’s face turned pale and his legs were shaking.
Granny Si continued, "...but she won't rob the bride. If she did, she would have to consider her own face, right? She doesn't need to consider that..."
She thought about it and made a list of people who might cause trouble. Before she knew it, it was late at night. Bashan Jiji looked up at the sky and saw stars twinkling. She laughed and said, "This day is weird. It's the fifteenth day of the lunar month, a sunny day, but there's not even a moon..."
Granny Si suddenly came to her senses: "Oh no! I forgot about her! The moon disappeared, it must be her coming! Go find your brother quickly, if you are late, she will kidnap him!"
Bashan Jiji also came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "Are you talking about the one on the moon? This is indeed a big deal! I will go find my junior brother now!"
He left in a hurry and headed straight for Qin Mu's mansion. Before he arrived at Qin Mu's residence, he saw the moonlight rippling there, illuminating the entire mansion.
Obviously, it was the moon in Yankang's sky that slipped down from the sky unknowingly and fell into Qin Mu's mansion!
Bashan bravely rushed in, thinking: "No matter what, we can't let the Supreme Emperor Sword God ruin this marriage!"
He broke into the mansion and saw the moon hanging in the sky above Qin Mu's house, about ten feet high. The moon had been refined into a treasure that could be big or small, but now it was only about a foot square hanging there.
Bashan went in hurriedly. There were not many servants in Qin Mu's mansion, and they had no time to stop him, so he rushed in.
In front of the hall, Qin Mu and Bai Quer were sitting on the stone steps below the hall, one had gray hair on her temples, and the other still looked like a girl.
The two were talking about something. When Ba Shan came in, he saw that they were dressed neatly. He was relieved and bowed, saying, "Ba Shan pays respect to the Supreme Emperor Sword God. Junior brother, you are going to get married, so it is not appropriate for you to stay in the same room with other women."
Qin Mu smiled gently and said, "So Qu'er and I were talking outside the hall and didn't go into the room."
Bai Yuer stood up and waved her hand. The moon drooped downwards, getting bigger and bigger. It stopped when it was still about 13 or 14 feet above the ground.
The woman walked into the Moon Palace without going to see Bashan.
Bashan felt relieved: "As long as nothing happens at this juncture, it will be fine..."
Bai Yu'er stood in the Moon Palace, with a belt floating down from her body. She stretched out her slender hands downwards with a look of anticipation.
Qin Mu stood up, raised his right hand, and their fingertips touched.
Bashan's scalp tingled and he coughed violently.
Qin Mu's fingers trembled and he retracted them.
Bai Quer's face was gloomy, but she did not retract her hand. The moon gradually rose and her clothes fluttered around it.
I saw the moon rising higher and higher, and going faster and faster, until gradually the sky was filled with moonlight and was out of reach.
Qin Mu looked up, and after a long while he retracted his gaze and said, "Brother Bashan, don't worry about me. I know my limits and won't do anything rash."
Bashan Jiji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm afraid you can't control your emotions. I'm also an experienced person. You are in the most dangerous time now."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Brother, you are too kind. I am getting married to delay the reckoning of Yan Kang by the Heavenly Court and to make Lord Hao Tian feel at ease about me. I will definitely not make any mistakes at this critical moment. Moreover, Princess Xiu and I have been childhood sweethearts and have already decided to spend our lives together. The reason why we have delayed getting married until now is also because of the times."
Ba Shan looked at him carefully and said, "I feel relieved with what you said. I will stay at your house for the next few days. Please treat me with good wine and good food."
Qin Mu laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
His gaze passed over Bashan and fell on Ling Yuxiu.
Ling Yuxiu arrived here at some point and probably noticed the moon descending and sinking into Qin Mu's residence, but she did not come over immediately.
She waited until Bashan arrived before rushing over.
Bashan left tactfully.
Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu walked side by side in the garden. Ling Yuxiu raised her hand to break a branch of flowers, but she broke it halfway and then let go, and the branch bounced back.
"You are worried about something." Qin Mu said.
Ling Yuxiu smiled and said, "Aren't you the same?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I understand your concerns. You are worried that our marriage is actually to delay the Heavenly Court, and that we are getting married to dispel Lord Hao Tian's suspicion of me. You don't have to be like this, you understand my intentions. Even without these, I will marry you."
Ling Yuxiu looked at the flowers in the garden in the moonlight. There were a few buds that had not yet bloomed. She touched them with her fingertips, and the buds bloomed faintly in the moonlight. She said, "I always want to go back to the time when we first met in Yongjiang. We were childhood sweethearts, and our feelings were pure and innocent. How wonderful it would be if we got married at that time."
Qin Mu picked up the flower and smiled, "People always have to grow up. You and I have grown up. We have experienced so many dangers and we can still be together in the end. This is life. We have experienced so many tests. We will support each other in the future and continue to move forward."
Ling Yuxiu looked at him and said faintly, "I'm always worried that you have some grudges in your heart and some reluctance to let go."
"No."
Qin Mu held her in his arms, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and murmured, "No."
He looked at the bright moon in the sky and his heart beat slower.
The moon's descent to the earth was just a small episode in Mu Tianzun's wedding and went unnoticed.
On this day, Lord Mu Tian got married, and envoys from all parties came in an endless stream. The rulers of the heavens and myriad worlds also sent envoys to congratulate. Lan Yutian, Xu Shenghua and others rushed back from the ancestral temple to attend the wedding.
The Western Emperor White Tiger, the Northern Emperor Black Tortoise, and the Southern Emperor Vermillion Bird also sent envoys to come and present generous gifts.
The newly promoted Heavenly Master Long Hu also ordered his adopted son Long Pi to come from the Beast Realm. Long Pi brought his own children to see Qin Mu in person. He was filled with grief and choked up with tears as he said, "The Master finally doesn't need me to worry about him anymore..."
Qin Hanzhen and his wife from Wuyou Township also rushed over, feeling deeply moved.
Taichu also ordered people to come and present gifts, and in the gift box was a dragon scale.
On this day, guests gathered in Yankang to go up and down the capital, and it was very lively. The eight elders from Canlao Village sat in their parents' seats, and there was an empty seat next to them.
Emperor Yanfeng and the Empress, Qin Hanzhen and his wife were also sitting in the hall. Together with the eight elders, they were knelt down and worshipped by Qin Mu and his wife. They all smiled, but secretly turned their heads away to wipe away their tears.
On the day of the wedding ceremony, Hu Ling'er woke up from a hangover and missed the wedding.
When they arrived at the bridal chamber, Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu heard a voice coming from outside: "You are still kissing! How shameless! Shame, shame--"
The blind man's voice came: "Mu'er, don't panic, I'll drive Ling'er away!"
Ling Yuxiu took off her shoes and threw them out, angrily saying, "Blind grandpa, you are eavesdropping too?"
A cry of "Ah" came from outside the window. I don't know which woman was hit by a shoe, but I vaguely heard the voice was Si Yunxiang.
Qin Mu laughed and spread out the paper. Ling Yuxiu ground the ink for him. Qin Mu picked up the brush and started painting. In just a moment, a picture of vast rivers and mountains appeared on the paper.
The two walked into the painting hand in hand.
That night, the painting was filled with the chirping of orioles and the whispering of swallows, and the surge of spring tide, sometimes high, sometimes low, melodious and graceful, beyond words.
————Zhaizhu really didn’t know that today is May 20th. Zhaizhu is already married and doesn’t care about this. It’s definitely not intentional. It’s definitely not intentional. I’m already married. Yeah, that’s it, la la la!
